The Reader Organisation grew by 23% in 2012, placing us at #70 in the top 100 UK social businesses and confirming our positive social impact, entrepreneurial flair, and sustainability.

As a social enterprise we “do business for good”, reinvesting trading income in order to benefit the local communities where we work. Our Get Into Reading groups bring people together, improving wellbeing and social interaction as well as reaching those who may not otherwise have access to literature. Since 2008, our social business has more than doubled its income, increased staff numbers by over 200% and increased its Get Into Reading group activity by nearly 300%.
